I love easy recipes. And I’m talkin’ “don’t even need to get out a knife” easy. That is this recipe.

With the leaves not changing color and the weather not getting cooler, I will not be holding a steaming mug of coffee with both hands on the porch anytime soon. Because, y’all, it’s September in Texas. And so, for another month or two, I’ll be pretending it’s fall. Which means that even though it’s hot […]
